ah, the sounds of morning. t.w. has no reverence for another person's sleep. he has always been a kid who wakes up ready to go. even as an infant, he never cried upon waking. he would just lay in his crib and gurgle. as he got older, he would babble, play and laugh or sing to himself. we'd never know when he woke up until we listened at his door. a truly strange kid!

now, as soon as he gets up, he requests his "special milk"-a cup of (very slightly) chocolate milk. he takes it to the living room where he chills out in the recliner and watches kipper or spot. when he sees me about to take the dog out, he jumps up to "help" me. soon after, he is ready for breakfast. most often he wants oatmeal. he insists on choosing a packet out of the box. he doesn't really know what flavor he is choosing, but it doesn't really matter because he likes 'em all. the boy LOVES his oatmeal!

after breakfast, the day is a blur of little boy activity. he keeps this grandma on her toes. by his bedtime, i am really ready for sleep......sleep....sleep......sleeeeeeep........slee......"GAMMIE, I"M POOPY!!!!!"

grateful:1. for full moons2. for gluten free pancake mix3. for that little boy

Sounds divine! Those really sweet fun years are so fleeting. I'm clinging on desperately to the remnants of those days. Enjoy that little guy!Thanks for sending your pal Susan to my blog and for your awesome, day-making comments :)

Could he BE a more delightful child? Let's face it, he'a a honey and so is his gammie :) Love hearing about adventures in choc milk and oatmeal, but wish gammie could get some sleep too. What a way to wake up:"I'm poopy!" My boy is 36 today and I wish he was still 3 :) Sigh.

About Me

i live in a small town, in a small house that seems to be falling down around me and my family. a four year old grandson,a basset hound and two cats add to the chaos that is my life. i do try to embrace it and to remember that there are folks far worse off than me. i have been wanting to start a gratitude journal for a while now,so i am going to list three things every day for which i am grateful.
